Abstract: This study aimed at exploring the effects of competency, occupational identity, occupational stress and job burnout on occupational well-being among kindergarten teachers. A total of 326 kindergarten teachers in Sichuan, Chongqing, Tibet, Guizhou and Beijing completed a set of questionnaires including kindergarten teachers' occupational well-being scale, kindergarten teachers' competency questionnaire, kindergarten teachers' occupational identity questionnaire, kindergarten teachers' occupational stress questionnaire and teachers' job burnout scale. The results showed that:(1) Kindergarten teachers' occupational identity mediated the positive effect of competency on occupational well-being after controlling for types of kindergarten, monthly income, age and teaching age. (2) Kindergarten teachers' job burnout and occupational identity mediated the negative effect of occupational stress on occupational well-being. The mediation effect contained three paths, the separate mediation effects of job burnout and occupational identity, and the serial mediation effect of job burnout and occupational identity. (3) Kindergarten teachers' competency moderated the effect of occupational stress on job burnout; Kindergarten teachers' occupational stress enlarged the effect of competency on occupational identity. These results may contribute not only to the development of JD-R model of occupational well-being, but also to the improvement of occupational well-being among kindergarten teachers.

Key words: kindergarten teacher, occupational well-being, competency, occupational stress, occupational identity, job burnout
